The purpose of a refrigeration system is the cooling of
materials and products, e.g. to protect food from spoiling. Cooling can be
described as a process in which heat is removed from the environment. A
commonly used refrigeration system is the so-called compression refrigeration
system. In this system refrigerant flows through four main elements:
compressor, condenser, expansion element and evaporator. The refrigeration
system uses the fact that the refrigerant has a low boiling point at low
pressure. This means that evaporation takes place on the low pressure side.
During the evaporation of the refrigerant heat is removed from the environment
and it is cooled. The condensation takes place on the high pressure side after
the evaporator. Here the heat is discharged into the environment. If not the
cooling effect but the discharged heat is used, this is called a heat pump.
